Thot Gor, High Commander of the Breen, presents Dax and Worf to the Female Changeling as a gift. The Breen are accepted into the Dominion regardless of Damar's disapproval of the treaty and its consequences for Cardassia. In addition, Septimus III is attacked by the Klingons and although Weyoun promises to "deal with it", the entire Eleventh Order is wiped out. Damar's mood worsens as Thot Gor is allowed access to classified Cardassian information.

The mood in Quark's bar is somber, as the crew misses Worf and Dax. Dr. Bashir's talk leads O'Brien to believe that he is in love with Ezri. Sisko isn't well either, as his wife begins to be uncomfortable with being married to an important figure in Bajoran religion.

During a confrontation with their captors, Worf slays Weyoun, though this is ultimately pointless as another clone would be sent in. As Worf and Ezri are taken to be executed, Damar realizes that the Dominion is not a good thing for Cardassia. He frees Worf and Dax and informs them he will help the Federation.

"Anjohl" convinces Winn to walk the path of the Pah-wraiths, by promising that Bajor will be "restored". However, Winn receives a vision from the Pah-wraiths that frightens her. She calls on Kira, who advises her to step down as Kai. Winn, disapproving of this advice, returns to Anjohl for comfort, and reluctantly accepts the Pah-wraiths.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
–
Star Trek, Deep Space Nine is a science fiction television series set in the Star Trek universe in the Milky Way galaxy, in the years 2369–2375. In contrast to other Star Trek TV shows, it takes place on a space station instead of a starship, so as not to have two series with starships in the same time period. The show is noted for its characters, original and complex plots, and religious themes. It often showcased darker themes, less physical exploration of space, and, in later seasons, DS9 premiered in 1993 and ran for seven seasons until 1999. The series was created by Rick Berman and Michael Piller at the request of Brandon Tartikoff, as overall head of Star Trek production, Berman served as executive producer for the seriess entire run. Piller initially served as executive producer and showrunner, but left the series in 1995 to manage Star Trek Voyager. Writer Ira Steven Behr was promoted by Berman to replace Piller as showrunner, in addition to Berman, Piller, and Behr, key writers included Robert Hewitt Wolfe, Ronald D. Moore, Peter Allan Fields, Bradley Thompson, David Weddle, Hans Beimler and René Echevarria. DS9 began while Star Trek, The Next Generation was still on the air, the stations first appearance in TNG was during the sixth-season episode Birthright. In addition, two Next Generation characters, Miles OBrien and Worf, became members of DS9. The station also appeared in the Star Trek, Voyager pilot episode, each DS9 episode began with the same opening sequence. A small comet is traveling through deep space, leaving an icy trail. As shuttle craft are seen moving about, the ends with the wormhole seen opening. DS9 centers on the formerly Cardassian space station Terok Nor, the station is renamed Deep Space Nine, and a Starfleet crew is assigned to manage it. Deep Space Nine and Bajor quickly become a center for exploration, interstellar trade, political maneuvering, Deep Space Nine becomes a key military base for the Federation in the Dominion War, and is assigned the starship USS Defiant to aid in its protection. While its predecessors tended to restore the status quo ante at the end of episode, allowing out-of-order viewing, DS9 contains story arcs that span episodes. One installment often builds upon earlier ones, with several cliffhanger endings, Michael Piller considered this one of the seriess best qualities, allowing repercussions of past episodes to influence future events and forcing characters to learn that actions have consequences. This trend was especially noticeable toward the finale, by which time the show was intentionally scripted as a serial. Unlike Star Trek, The Next Generation, interpersonal conflicts were prominently featured in DS9, in Pillers words, People who come from different places—honorable, noble people—will naturally have conflicts

General
–
A general officer is an officer of high rank in the army, and in some nations air forces or marines. The term general is used in two ways, as the title for all grades of general officer and as a specific rank. It originates in the 16th century, as a shortening of captain general, the adjective general had been affixed to officer designations since the late medieval period to indicate relative superiority or an extended jurisdiction. Today, the title of General is known in countries as a four-star rank. However different countries use different systems of stars for senior ranks and it has a NATO code of OF-9 and is the highest rank currently in use in a number of armies. The various grades of general officer are at the top of the rank structure. Lower-ranking officers in military forces are typically known as field officers or field-grade officers. There are two systems of general ranks used worldwide. In addition there is a system, the Arab system of ranks. Variations of one form, the old European system, were used throughout Europe. It is used in the United Kingdom, from which it spread to the Commonwealth. The other is derived from the French Revolution, where ranks are named according to the unit they command. The system used either a general or a colonel general rank. The rank of marshal was used by some countries as the highest rank. Many countries actually used two brigade command ranks, which is why some countries now use two stars as their brigade general insignia, mexico and Argentina still use two brigade command ranks. As a lieutenant outranks a sergeant major, confusion arises because a lieutenant is outranked by a major. Originally the serjeant major was, exclusively, the commander of the infantry, junior only to the captain general, the distinction of serjeant major general only applied after serjeant majors were introduced as a rank of field officer. Serjeant was eventually dropped from both titles, creating the modern rank titles

Martok
–
Martok, son of Urthog is a recurring character in Star Trek, Deep Space Nine, played by actor J. G. Hertzler. Hertzler made his first appearance in the franchise in the Star Trek, Deep Space Nine pilot episode, Emissary, as a Vulcan Captain who is killed when his vessel is destroyed. Following this, he made his first appearance as a Klingon in the video game Star Trek, Klingon, directed by Jonathan Frakes, but this response led to him gaining the role, and it was included as a character trait for Martok. It took around three hours each day for the make-up to be applied to Hertzler by David Quashnick, who was the specialist who did both Hertzler and OReillys Klingon make-up. Hertzler did not mind the process, but stated that having the prosthetics block the sight in his side could sometimes make filming difficult as he couldnt see when turning that way. In particular, Hertzler felt it gave the air to Martok as Christopher Plummers character in Star Trek VI. Little backstory is given regarding the life of Martok, except for a brief history sketched by himself in the Deep Space Nine episode Once More Unto the Breach. It is known that he was born into a Klingon house that was not part of the aristocracy and was raised in the Ketha lowlands on the Klingon homeworld of QonoS and this area is considered a wasteland by the Klingons. His family had been soldiers and had loyally served the empire for 15 generations. With a rejection on his record from such a legendary officer and he opted to serve, regardless, and spent five years as a civilian laborer on General ShiVangs flagship. During his service the Generals ship came under attack by the Romulans. They attempted to board the ship at which time Martok took up arms and defended his General and his performance and bravery in battle caught the eye of General ShiVang, who granted him a battlefield commission as an officer. Martok earned the rank of Lieutenant after the Battle of Tchavoth that earn him a spot as tactical officer aboard the Klingon Cruiser Gothspar, at Martoks introduction to the series, he had attained the rank of General. Around 2371, Martok was abducted by agents of the Dominion, the exact date of this is unclear. Martok spent two years in a Dominion internment camp, forced to fight JemHadar soldiers daily in hand-to-hand combat for training purposes, presumably it was during one of these fights that his left eye was gouged out. During his confinement, Martok came to respect the indomitable character, in the episode By Infernos Light, Martok escapes and returns to the Alpha Quadrant with Elim Garak, Worf and Julian Bashir, and is made commander of the Klingon forces on Deep Space Nine. Weeks after this new assignment, Martok took command of a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, the Rotarran, initially, the Rotarrans crew were beaten and fatalistic, a fact that was made worse by Martoks apparent reluctance to engage JemHadar forces on their first mission. Eventually, a confrontation between Martok and Worf helped rally both the warrior spirit as well as Martoks

Breen (Star Trek)
–
The Breen are a fictional extraterrestrial species that feature in the Star Trek science fiction franchise. They were first mentioned in The Loss, an episode of Star Trek. References to them were made in several other Next Generation episodes, on Deep Space Nine, they played a significant role in the final story arc of that series in 1999, during which much information about them was revealed. The Breens true appearance remains unrevealed to viewers, as they have never seen onscreen without their helmets. The Breen were first mentioned in The Loss, an episode of Star Trek. The episode established their race as one of alien species to be unreadable by empaths. In that episode, they were depicted as running a mining facility from which Gul Dukat and Major Kira rescued Dukats daughter, Tora Ziyal. Their true appearance would be concealed beneath masks, according to writer/producer Ira Steven Behr, so I said, Lets not see them. Lets just put them in costume because they live in the cold. The look of the Breen masks, which includes a snout, was derived from the suggestion that they are a snouted species. However, it looks like the mask Princess Leia wore for her attempt to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt early in Return of the Jedi. The costumes also included big, clumsy boots, and the outfits were layered like an armadillo, the helmets, which were complicated to put on and remove, were held together with magnets, and were prone to falling off when someone bumped into them. The switches for the lights on the helmets were inside the helmets, requiring the actor to remove the helmet to turn the lights on, for reasons unknown to production personnel, the nine-volt batteries that powered the lights only lasted minutes before burning out. The Breen homeworld is called Breen, according to the 1999 Star Trek, Deep Space Nine episode Til Death Do Us Part, however, in the 1999 episode The Changing Face of Evil, it was stated by Weyoun that it is in fact rather temperate. Among the Breen, pregnancy at a young age was an occurrence, according to Elogium. However, it has not been established what is considered young in the Breen culture, how the functions normally carried out by blood in other species are carried out in Breen physiology has not been revealed. Although the Breen diet is unknown, Lieutenant Commander Worf and Ezri Dax were given algae paste when they were prisoners of the Breen in Til Death Do Us Part, historically, the Klingons were among the first to discover the consequences of underestimating the Breen. As revealed in Til Death Do Us Part, during the Klingon Second Empire, Chancellor Mowga ordered a fleet of Klingon warships to invade

Quark (Star Trek)
–
Quark is a fictional character in the American television series Star Trek, Deep Space Nine. The character, which was played by Armin Shimerman, was depicted as a member of a race known as the Ferengi. Quark, who served as the shows comedy relief, may have been named after the 1978 Quark.

When the station changed hands at the end of the occupation, in the episode Business as Usual, Sisko admitted that he had cut a lot of slack in the past even looked away once or twice when could have come down hard on. A shrewd businessman, Quark often quotes the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, when the Bajoran wormhole was discovered, Quark helped broker deals between several Gamma Quadrant races and the Ferengi. The Alpha Quadrants first knowledge of the Dominion came through business dealings that Quark, Quarks role in these dealings came about as a result of the interference of Grand Nagus Zek. Quark became Grand Nagus for a period when it appeared that Zek had died, however, Zeks death turned out to be a ruse. Along with Commander Sisko, Quark was also among the first to encounter the genetically engineered soldiers of the Dominion, Quark repeatedly clashed with FCA liquidator Brunt, who believed that Quark was detrimental to Ferengi society and beliefs. The two met initially in a scandal involving Quarks mother Ishka, who had earned profit despite this being illegal for a female, following this, Brunt was responsible for Quark receiving a savage beating at the hands of Nausicaan thugs. The attack was meant to coerce Quark into dissolving the union founded by his brother. Instead, Quark secretly honored many of the unions demands, later, when Quark was falsely diagnosed with a fatal disease, Brunt anonymously bought the Ferengi bartenders remains six days in advance. When Brunt almost became Grand Nagus, Quark temporarily became a female named Lumba and this was in order to convince FCA commissioner Nilva that allowing Ferengi females to wear clothing was an opportunity for profit. Brunt did not believe the charade for a minute, Nilva, owner of Slug-O-Cola, The Slimiest Cola In The Galaxy. on the other hand, was more than convinced that Lumba was a woman, and chased her amorously. Quarks involvement with underworld figures led him to become an important source of information for the crew of the station, in the style of Huggy Bear from Starsky. Quark loved his brother Rom, and occasionally found him useful. Nonetheless, in true Ferengi fashion, he treated Rom with little respect, Quark was also fond of swindling Rom out of his share of the bars profits. They were partners in other business ventures, although Quark routinely made sure to keep Rom in the dark about the true nature of their dealings

Because of this, his parents, Richard and Amsha Bashir, had him subjected to genetic engineering, the procedure made him mentally superior to most humans, and greatly enhanced his physical abilities.

United Federation of Planets
–
The Federation was first introduced in the 1966–1969 television show Star Trek as the organization that sent the starship USS Enterprise on its mission of peaceful exploration. As the Federation has continued to explore the galaxy and expanded its membership, it has been challenged by hostile alien civilizations such as the Borg. The survival, success, and growth of the Federation and its principles of freedom have become some of the Star Trek franchises central themes, the Federation was originally conceived as an idealized version of the United Nations. The Federation has been well received by critics and fans, becoming one of the most enduring storylines. As part of the message he wanted the show to convey, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry intended to depict the Federation as an ideal. The social structure within the Federation is classless and operates within a money-less New World Economy, the Federation is described as stressing, at least nominally, the values of universal liberty, equality, justice, peace, and cooperation. The Federation also maintains its own quasi-militaristic and scientific exploratory agency, the television series and films depict Earth and humanity as holding a center-stage political role within the Federation, in some ways first among equals. The legislature, the Federation Council, is located at the Presidio of San Francisco, several other bodies of the Federation have been depicted. There is an executive headed by a Federation President, who keeps offices in the Palais de la Concorde in Paris. There is a branch as well, the highest court of which is the Federation Supreme Court. The Federations scientific, diplomatic and defensive/military arm is Starfleet, depicted as being headquartered at Fort Baker, just north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge. The Federation comes into conflict with other major powers in the galaxy such as the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union, the Borg. The United Federation of Planets has existed as part of the Star Trek universe since the first season of the series and is the primary focus of all the Star Trek series. Several episodes of Star Trek, Enterprise follow events leading up the creation of the Federation, the formation of the Coalition seems to have been the event that provoked the xenophobic Terra Prime incident in the episodes Demons and Terra Prime. After Terra Prime leader John Frederick Paxton exploited the xenophobia on Earth, many of the aliens were unnerved, however, they were convinced by a speech from Captain Jonathan Archer to give the idea of a united organization of worlds a chance. Six years later in 2161, the United Federation of Planets was organized, the Federation is founded under a document known as the Charter of the United Federation of Planets October 9,2161, which is occasionally referred to informally as the Constitution. It draws text and inspiration from the United Nations Charter and other sources and this is intended to prevent even well-intentioned Federation personnel from introducing changes which could destabilize or even destroy other pre-warp-era cultures through interference. Starfleets Omega Directive supersedes the Prime Directive allowing for any means possible to destroy the Omega particle if encountered and it includes a set of guarantees of civil rights, the Seventh Guarantee being analogous to the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and its protection against self-incrimination

Wiki
–
A wiki is a website that provides collaborative modification of its content and structure directly from the web browser. In a typical wiki, text is written using a markup language. A wiki is run using wiki software, otherwise known as a wiki engine, there are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both standalone and part of other software, such as bug tracking systems. Some wiki engines are open source, whereas others are proprietary, some permit control over different functions, for example, editing rights may permit changing, adding or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing access control, other rules may also be imposed to organize content. Wikipedia is not a wiki but rather a collection of hundreds of wikis. There are at least tens of thousands of other wikis in use, both public and private, including functioning as knowledge management resources, notetaking tools, community websites. The English-language Wikipedia has the largest collection of articles, as of September 2016, ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as the simplest online database that could possibly work. Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning quick, Wiki promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages by making page link creation intuitively easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or not. A wiki is not a carefully crafted site created by experts and professional writers, instead, it seeks to involve the typical visitor/user in an ongoing process of creation and collaboration that constantly changes the website landscape. A wiki enables communities of editors and contributors to write documents collaboratively, all that people require to contribute is a computer, Internet access, a web browser and a basic understanding of a simple markup language. A single page in a website is referred to as a wiki page, while the entire collection of pages. A wiki is essentially a database for creating, browsing, a wiki allows non-linear, evolving, complex and networked text, while also allowing for editor argument, debate and interaction regarding the content and formatting. A defining characteristic of wiki technology is the ease with which pages can be created and updated, generally, there is no review by a moderator or gatekeeper before modifications are accepted and thus lead to changes on the website. Many wikis are open to alteration by the public without requiring registration of user accounts. Many edits can be made in real-time and appear almost instantly online, however, this feature facilitates abuse of the system. Private wiki servers require user authentication to edit pages, and sometimes even to read them, maged N. Kamel Boulos, Cito Maramba and Steve Wheeler write that the open wikis produce a process of Social Darwinism. Unfit sentences and sections are ruthlessly culled, edited and replaced if they are not considered fit, while such openness may invite vandalism and the posting of untrue information, this same openness also makes it possible to rapidly correct or restore a quality wiki page
